In Mexico, Nick travels from Los Mochis in Sinaloa to Creel in Chihuahua, witnessing astonishing feats of railway engineering and breathtaking landscapes.
Travelling north from Trondheim, Nick stays for a night on the River Namsen, takes a helicopter ride, meets a reindeer herder and goes swimming in near freezing sea.
From the misty mountains of Sa Pa to the jamppacked city of Hanoi with its five million scooters, Nick discovers a Vietnam of newfound prosperity that is developing fast and thriving.
Over the course of three train journeys, Nick visits Malaysia, a country of contrasts. It is a land of advanced technology, rural simplicity, megacities, virgin rainforest and many different cultures.
